The critically acclaimed cult hit Veronica Mars has more to offer than just a witty PI with fantastic sarcastic banter; it might actually be able to help females define their relationships. Every relationship Veronica experienced in the course of three romance-splashed seasons were with common archetypal males; all relationships can be put into the four Veronica Mars dating categories. Every female with a dating history sees her ex's in these boys, and maybe that's why they are drawn to a certain one of these delicious male characters. However, I digress.
Category 1: the Duncan Kane
The nice, well-dressed boy involved in school activities, seemingly amibitious, adorable, stable and dilligent. The kind of guy you think will take care of you and adore you until the end of time, even if things are a little repetitive. He's the guy that holds your hand in the hall while he meets you after every class and walks you to the next one. The guy that never lets you drive and rarely lets you pay. He's a gentleman. This is the guy who will say I love you first, and in some cheesy romantic way. Underneath, he's got some issues - particularly with his family, but he tries not to let their mistakes affect who he is. This is the guy that wants to make his own way in the world. The downside - he might be hiding depression, things will get a little boring, and you have to dress accordingly in pastels.
Category 2: the Logan
While LoVe is definitely the fan favorite of the series, Logan is a force unto himself. The Logan is all about adventure, whether he knows it or not. This is the guy that was raised from an early age being told he was a certain kind of person; in other words, a guy that was raised to rebel in a high profile sort of way. He'll form a fierce attachment to you, realize you are probably a better person than him, but that doesn't mean for a second he'll change his wily ways - causing trouble and getting revenge where and when he can. This is the kind of guy that comes to you for help right before its too late, but you help him anyways because he can give you puppy eyes good enough to make you melt. Even if his friends are jerks, he has no problem telling them so, especially where you are concerned. Not only does he challenge you and turn you on, but he's loyal to boot. Don't break his heart, he won't take it well.
Category 3: the Leos and Troys
While these boys should really be two categories, they are one for this reason: they aren't serious. Veronica never saw Troy as a relationship she was ready to delve into deeply, nor did she really want to. Troys are troublemakers - absolutely adorable and amazing liars. You date them because they make you feel pretty, and then end up seriously pissing you off in the end. Leos are dated for the simple fact that they are good looking and almost too nice to be intelligent. Both of these are boys liked mostly for the physical attraction, and/or the idea of pissing off another said boy. (In Troy's case, Duncan, in Leo's case, her dad).
Category 4: the Piz
Ah, the Piz. Perhaps my favorite of all the Veronica archetypes. Piz is the friend; the guy that is madly in love with you and you don't even see it. He'll adore you, respect you, and feel privileged just to be in your presence. This is the guy mature enough to realize that even if you never want him back, he's still going to be there for you - even if it's just as a friend. Piz's of the world are always cute in an almost little boy sort of way, have certain fixations in a nerdy area (i.e. Piz and music), and are at times easily taken advantage of. Once you actually date them, Pizs turn into adoring and lust-filled boyfriends who want nothing more than to please you (and you can take that however you want.) Pizs also have the bad luck of getting a bit on the boring side, as they will almost always give in to what you want, and we all know how irritating that can be.
So there you have it. What are you dating?
